The netminder was pulled late in the third period, and immediately went to the team's dressing room.
Good news appeared after the game as Varlamov was seen in high spirits with his team after their win reports Rick Sadowski of NHL.com.
Patrick Roy said the injury to goalie Semyon Varlamov is lower-body, possible cramp. Update later. #Avs
